Victus S10 Laptop Cannot Connect to Wifi

[Didyousaytoast]

My laptop has had issues with connecting to the internet this morning.

It only gives me the option to connect with an ethernet cable? Odd!

I tried a dns flush and I also have started to go through this helpful thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/no-wifi-on-brand-new-windows-11-victus-laptop/...

However, I find myself stuck after revealing hidden devices. 
Please, any advice on how to move forward?

Run Windows Network Troubleshooter:

• Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot.
• Select Internet Connections and run the troubleshooter.
